Most years, the start and finish line are both located at the Paseo del Prado between Teniente Rey street and San José street, right in front of Kid Chocolate. The start of the race is in the heart of Havana, with the newly restored Capitol Building as its backdrop. Depending on climate conditions on the day of the race, start and finish line could be relocated to Malecón Avenue and 25 Street.

As you run through Havana’s decades of colonial history, history comes alive in the island’s capital most grandiose edifices, such as the historical Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de la Habana (Museum of Fine Arts), Museo de la Revolucion and Plaza de la Revolución.
